SUMMARY:2nd Friday Artist at The Electric Company - Virginia Dickens
DESCRIPTION:Virginia Dickens\, is a photographer\, artist\, and graphic designer. She creates her art by combining her photographs\, paintings and sketches in Photoshop. The mixed media piece is then built up layer-by-layer\, adding pieces of her photographs as she goes. Printing her creations on canvas\, metal and watercolor paper in her studio\, she assembles the frames and hand stretches her work. Some canvas prints receive another round of painting with acrylics and gel mediums. In 2009\, it was a Near Death Experience which would open up a strong spiritual relationship with nature\, human consciousness and her understanding of death. While weed whacking in the yard\, she disturbed a yellow jacket nest and was overcome by bee stings. What the artist experienced that day soon became the underpinning of her latest creations. \nPlease come by 2nd Friday\, June 8th from 5 to 8 PM at The Electric Company Art Gallery\, 207 E. Depot St.\, Bedford and enjoy her work as Featured Artist for the month of July.

SUMMARY:Local Artist Pays Homage to Queena Stovall
DESCRIPTION:Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But for an artist it is so much more.  Artists copy or borrow from other artists to learn and grow more than to flatter.  When local artist Carol Burnett encountered the work of Lynchburg artist Queena Stovall over twenty years ago\, she knew that she not only encountered a kindred spirit\, but had found a lifelong artistic mentor as well.  “I loved her imagination\, her compositions and the natural way that she captured life as it was\,” explain Burnett of her decades long admiration of Stovall’s painting. \nWhile these two local treasures never met\, they share a similar artistic vision and journey. Like Stovall\, Burnett is a self-taught artist who is drawn to depict fond memories\, people\, place and events in her past.  And also like Stovall\, Burnett found a primitive painterly style to express herself and tell her stories. \nFor her new show at Goose Creek Studio\, Burnett returns to the much-admired images and subject matter that inspired her decades ago. “I used Queena Stovall’s painting as my basic composition and narrative\, but I put my own spin on it\,” says Burnett describing this new body of work.  A positive and respectful response to the color and whimsical subject matter she has long loved. \nIn addition to Goose Creek Studio\, Burnett’s work can also be found at Town Kitchen and Provisions (309 N. Bridge Street in Bedford.)  \nA reception with the artist will be held at Goose Creek Studio (302 Court Street in Bedford) during 2nd Friday\, June 8\, 5:00-8:00 pm. \nFor more information\, see http://www.goosecreekstudio.com or call (540) 586-8482.

SUMMARY:The Language of Invisibility in Three Parts:  A Pop-up Exhibit and Gallery Talk by Veronica Jackson
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, June 10\, 2:00-4:00 pm\, Goose Creek Studio will host a pop-up exhibit and gallery talk by installation artist Veronica Jackson.  Jackson is new to the region\, but her family has long and deep roots in Bedford County.  After a career in architecture and museum exhibit design in Washington DC\, Jackson decided to reinvent herself and refocus her creative imagination while become a full-time artist.  As part of this journey and personal transformation\, Jackson returned to live on the family homestead in Bedford County\, Virginia which she shares with her mother. \n Jackson expresses her vision and personal narrative through thought provoking and cutting-edge installations.  She weaves together words\, found objects\, manufactured and newly created pieces to tell stories about race\, gender and identity.  While Jackson’ work and narrative is centered on deeply personal experiences\, these visual memoirs echo universal themes of a search for self\, identity and voice. \nFor the pop-up exhibition and gallery talk at Goose Creek Studio\, Jackson introduces viewers to three ongoing series of works. Some of these are complete\, some are works in progress and some are in the early concept phase of her creative process.   \nThe first is a series of black felt movable letterboard signs (like you might see in the lobby of a multiple use office building) which are utilized as a substrate for quotes from black women.  Using black letters on black felt\, “Language of Invisibility on Display” explores the too often overridden voice of contemporary black women in the workplace or in group decision making.  \nThe second work entitled HOMELESS/TOURIST focuses on articles of clothing\, shoes\, hair\, and paint samples to explore an experience of misidentification while living in San Francisco.   \nAnd the third work uses blind debossed handmade black paper to create weekly timecards that document the working hours accumulated in 67 years of marriage\, managing a home and raising nine children.  “That’s Pop’s Money” seeks to address and expose the often-invisible value of women’s work in and around the home including child care. \n“We are excited to have Veronica Jackson’s vision as part of Bedford’s creative community\,” say Mitchell Bond\, co-owner of Goose Creek Studio.  “She brings fresh insights\, new ways of doing art and she is a master at storytelling.  It is hard to go back to old ways of seeing and doing after encountering Jackson’s work and energy\,” adds Bond.  Jackson has recently joined the Board of Directors of Bower Center for the Arts. \n Jackson received a MA in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts\, San Francisco. During her tenure at CCA her work explored identity\, agency\, and empowerment as performed by African American women in the visual landscape. Jackson’s current emphasis—a visual art practice comprised of 3D installations—critically examines and elucidates the visualization of gender and race in America\, with a specific focus on the portrayal and perception of black women in popular media of their time.  Jackson holds firm that once exposed to it\, art is a transformative experience.  \nGoose Creek Studio Gallery and Custom Framing is located at 302 Court Street in Bedford.  For more information\, see  www.goosecreekstudio.com or call (540) 586-8482.
